File Log

Write signal data file log on target computer

• Library:

• Simulink Real-Time / Logging

• 

Description

When you enable logging service, the File Log block logs the signal at its input port to the target computer file system.

For more information about the file logging workflow, see Signal Logging and Streaming Basics.

Ports

Input

S — Signal data for file log

scalar | vector | matrix | array | bus | nonvirtual bus

Provides the signal data input for the file log.

Parameters

Decimation — Applies decimation to file log data

1 (default) | integer

The decimation parameter value selects decimation for the samples captured in the file log.

By using the File Log decimation functions, you can tune the decimation parameter programmatically for the File Log in the model. These functions are:

• getAllFileLogBlocks

• getFileLogDecimation

• setFileLogDecimation

Programmatic Use

decimation

Input Processing — Selects processing mode for file log data

Elements as channels (sample based) (default) | Columns as channels (frame based)

The input processing parameter value selects whether the logged signal data is processed and sent to the Simulation Data Inspector in sample or frame processing mode. For more information about sample-based data and frame-based data in the Simulation Data Inspector, see View Data in the Simulation Data Inspector.
